Product Description
Product Description
Incan gold is an award-winning game in which players push their luck as they head into a ruined temple, attempting to find the most jewels. Each turn, a card is turned over that increases the gold found in a temple or shows a HAZARD. Players can attempt to escape, keeping the loot that they've acquired, or stay in the temple, hoping for increased profits. As players escape, those in the temple will acquire bigger shares of each pile of gold found, but also run the risk of dying if the same HAZARD card is drawn twice. The tension mounts as players decide whether or not to stay or leave the temples. Up to eight people can play this game, making it a great game for parties and other gatherings. With quality components and a compelling theme, Incan gold will be the first choice of large groups looking for a fun filled game.
From the Manufacturer
Incan Gold (co-designed by Alan R. Moon, designer of Ticket to Ride) is a quick, fun game of bluff and daring in which explorers push their luck while exploring an old Incan temple in search of gold and treasure. In each round, you decide whether to delve deeper into the temple, adding to your riches, or escape with the share you've acquired so far. Every time an explorer braves new territory, more gems and dangers appear. Giant spiders, mummies and fire can cause you to lose everything. Is it worth the risk? You decide. But if you leave, those who remain in the temple may acquire a bigger share of each stash of jewels yet to be found. After five rounds of exploration, whoever has the most treasure is the ultimate explorer and the winner..

The game is set in the ruins of an ancient Incan temple, where players take on the role of treasure hunters trying to collect as much gold and gems as possible while avoiding traps and hazards. The game is played in rounds, with each round consisting of two phases: Exploration and Escape.
During the Exploration phase, players choose to either stay in the temple to continue collecting treasure or leave to keep what they have already found. However, if a player decides to stay and another player leaves, the remaining players must face the dangers of the temple alone, which can result in losing all the treasure they have collected in that round.
The Escape phase is where the real excitement of the game comes into play. Players reveal their cards simultaneously to determine the number of hazards they will face as they try to make their way out of the temple. Hazards can include poison darts, rockslides, and even attacks from giant spiders. Players must use their cards wisely to avoid or mitigate these hazards, while also trying to collect as much treasure as possible.
One of the things I love about Incan Gold is the simple but engaging gameplay. The game is easy to learn, but there is still enough strategy involved to keep it interesting. The game also has a good balance of luck and skill, which means that anyone can win regardless of their experience level.
The game components are also well-designed, with colorful and detailed cards and tokens. The artwork and theme of the game are also very immersive, making you feel like you are really exploring an ancient Incan temple.
Overall, Incan Gold: Quest for Riches in the Ruins is a fun and exciting game that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quick and engaging board game. The game is easy to learn, yet challenging enough to keep you coming back for more.
It plays well for groups - there's no real penalty for even 7 or 8 players, unlike many other games that really bog down or become unplayable with large groups. There's a little bit of a learning curve, but really most players will pick it up after a single round of play-through.
Complexity is low and players as young as 5-6 can probably understand and enjoy it. Each turn, each player simply needs to decide "stay or go", a new card is turned over, and the running scores are tallied. This makes it good even for people who have "analysis paralysis". For those who want to be thorough, it's possible to compute the odds.
It plays quickly - a full game can be done in 30 minutes if at least one player knows the rules well and guides the others. It works well as a party-type game. It's always been great fun for us. It's not a deep, serious game but it can make a great fill-in or for introducing non-gamer types to games.
The gameplay is easy to understand and is perfect for players of all ages. The objective of the game is to collect as much treasure as possible while avoiding hazards such as traps and other dangers. Players can choose to continue exploring the ruins or retreat and collect their treasure at any point during the game.
One of the things that sets Incan Gold apart from other adventure board games is its replayability. The game features different hazards and treasures each time it is played, which keeps the game fresh and exciting.
Overall, Incan Gold is a great addition to any game collection. The game is easy to understand and is perfect for players of all ages. The game is beautifully designed, and the replayability of the game makes it a great choice for game nights with family and friends. I would highly recommend Incan Gold to anyone looking for a fun and exciting adventure board game.
This game is a good thematic way to enjoy gambling without actually losing any money. You can watch the players around your table squirm as they try to decide what to do, slump in defeat when the second doom card is drawn or revel in the treasures they amass. The game takes a round or two for players to learn and understand gameplay. SO, it's not very hard to learn. It is not very complex, and would not be satisfying for someone who is looking for a deep, in depth challenge. However, as a light, filler to share with family or a nice group of 3 or 4, this game is very fitting and enjoyable.
